What is the incubation period for a poison ivy rash? Dermatologists suggest that the first exposure to poison ivy has an incubation period of about five to 21 days before the rash appears. However, repeated exposure to poison ivy results in the rash appearing more quickly (about 12-48 hours).
Poison ivy (Rhus radicans) is a poisonous vine with surface oil that irritates human skin. Within a few hours and up to a day after contact, skin may itch, blisters sometimes form and inflammation is common. For control of this toxic plant, utilize herbicidal sprays to kill poison ivy. Glyphosate is a nonselective herbicide used to control and kill poison ivy. Since this herbicide is nonselective, it kills all plant material and is not just formulated to destroy poison ivy.
